UK Equality Act 2010 for Auditors
What does UK Equality Act 2010 require of a Auditor?
The United Kingdom's consolidated equality statute: nine protected characteristics, the prohibited forms of discrimination, harassment and victimisation, the three-limb duty to make reasonable adjustments for disabled people, and the duties it places on service providers, landlords and managers, employers and other work relationships (including equal pay, pay secrecy, gender pay gap reporting and the duty to prevent sexual harassment), schools, colleges and universities (with accessibility plans), associations, contracting parties and public authorities under the public sector equality duty. Under UK Equality Act 2010, which defines 61 controls, a Auditor's work is deciding which controls you own outright, which you share and which belong to another team, then holding the evidence for the first group.
Which UK Equality Act 2010 controls land on the Auditor
Internal Auditors assess whether compliance controls are operating effectively. They plan and execute audit engagements, evaluate evidence, report findings, and track remediation of identified gaps and nonconformities.
UK Equality Act 2010 defines 61 controls across 10 domains that directly affect the Auditor role. Understanding which controls fall within your ownership, which are shared, and which are owned by other teams is the foundation of effective compliance management.
